RALPH A. SMITH, EDITOR
This sourcebook is the result of more than 2 years of research by Smith with 42 chapters by prominent art educators—scholars, practitioners, and researchers. The reader will find an array of DBAE ideas and practice. Contributors to this anthology identify major issues and offer in-depth views about the meaning, interpretations, and characteristics of DBAE. They offer guides on artistic and aesthetic development, preservice and in-service for educators, staff development, and teacher preparation. Several chapters examine the functions of museums and the evaluation of museum education programs. There are provocative chapters about learning outcomes; teaching art history; types of art criticism; issues of gender, and multiculturalism; and the relationship of art education and postmodernism.429 pgs.
